Argh, we have and limp in.

there's a small juicer raise everyone is calling and then guy who is buying in for 200 raises to 60, one caller, then another guy repots and I have to lay it down

He gets headsup with QQ22 and flop is KQ3. Maniac shortstack has ATxx and turn is J....then river is J

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp the CO with

Flop is

EP bets, we consider raising but given our massive equity we want to pull others in and just call, the BB tags along

Turn

Well shit......it gets checked around

River

BB leads for 45, EP calls?

Ugh, we sigh-call. BB announces two pair, EP has A4 for wheel and our straight to the 6 is good!

 

[Anthony Martino]

We call a small preflop raise to 15 holding

Multiway to a flop of

I pot, one caller. Turn

I pot for $225. He exclaims "you don't have nothing!" And flashes AK8 for top 3 pair, before he folds

D for pills.

I think I mentioned previously I've been playing a lot of $0.50/$1.00 PLO on Ignition lately. Probably the number one leak/money maker I see is people overplaying pocket overpairs post-flop. How common is that in the live games at your stakes?

I don't see a ton of people going nuts with overpairs, but I have seen it.

Usually people with a hold em background who are new to PLO are the most likely culprits for this.

Had a lady pre-Covid who could lose 5 figures in a day, they built games around her

She had 99xx on an 853 flop and got it all-in against me when I had a super wrap. She couldn't believe her overpair didn't hold up

Recently had a guy in the game who went nuts with TPTK for stacks and busted VERY quickly

Greetings Anthony

I would like to file a minor complaint. Apparently, Tommy has either disabled plonewbie's account or something awful has befallen your friend.

How is he doing? Any updates regarding his progress?

Obviously reading my thread he is no longer a newbie to PLO and probably went and joined 2+2 perhaps with a name like "plomaster6789ten"

[Poker Zombie]

Yes, there is a system.

If the post contains "BINGO BANGO BONGO VINCE!" He scooped.

All other posts are bad beats.

Look at that big beautiful stack of hundos!

 

[Anthony Martino]

The two outer giving me a full house vs quads set me back a small bit, but basically lost the minimum as far as I'm concerned. The crazy hand vs the drunk and the rest of the table really made my session when I flopped middle set and held for the big pot.

Managed to cash out +$884 on the day. So a nice week compared to the silliness of last week. Back at it again next week!

You gotta play more monsters.

I was just glad the bigger stack didn't have that hand or it'd be REBUY!
